Thread: Replacing Tikka stock

Should only need 1 shot & occasionally a back up, aye! Tikka sporter barrels are not designed to shoot long strings��

Reloading...bipod with rear bag...no vertical drift in a group...groups are effectively fired 1/2hr apart and cooling between shots within the group (and mostly two shot groups to keep things cool).

This is not a major problem...but annoying when the groups are so good.
And just wondering if this kind of issue is the reason so many plastic stocks are sold on here and trademe.
